- Yes, I was waiting for VB 2.0 for a long time and believed
- that all our willings will be introduced in it.
- Now I have it and can say: It's truth, most of properties
- users wanted to see are implemented (I mean inheritance,
- mdi, preserve redim, multiple-selection list box, variant
- type of data and so on). BUT the size of VBRUN200.DLL is
- greate enough. Of course the sizes of exe-files is smaller,
- then in VB 1.0, but when you summirize .exe & vbrun200
- you'll get more Kbytes. This is very sufficient in setup
- programs. For example my very sofisticated setup program,
- written in VB 1.0 contained 8 forms, some controls produced
- via calls of API functions and several functions in dll.
- The size of this program was 175K (exe)+15K (dll). Now
- after rebuilding (including new features of Vb 2.0) I have
- 140K (exe)+ 8K (dll). But with the new vbrun it takes more
- place on the floppy. :(
- >From the other hand it's almost impossible to run VB 2.0
- applications on AT286 with 1M of memory - computer sleeps.
- The main reason - this giant dll.
-
- So the best way is to wait VB 3.0 without any vbrun dll. :)
